NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® Tabbed sessions in SecureCRT® is a useful and rich time-saving feature that deserves a closer look in this issue. As you will see in the preview of upcoming client application releases, tabs continue to evolve (and will soon be available in SecureFX®). Calls for pre-beta testing feedback continue, and we give you a link to the latest chapter of the Scripting Essentials manual. ------------- 1. SecureCRT Tabs: The Complete Rundown -------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------ SecureCRT session tabs have been popular since first introduced
several releases back. As we've been building onto the core capability, we thought now would be a good time to explore the Any terminal or SFTP session may be started in a tabbed window,
making it easy to switch between tabs/sessions while maintaining
an uncluttered Windows desktop. First, turn on tabbed sessions
by checking the Session Tabs button in the SecureCRT View drop-down menu. Quick list of tab commands and features:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have seen several calls for testing of new features since April, from SecureCRT Unicode support to SecureFX session tabs. As the software comes closer to beta release, we want to offer you the chance to preview the new capabilities, including some that haven't been announced in pre-beta testing. SecureCRT:

If you are interested in previewing these features, please send
e-mail to Maureen.Jett@vandyke.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VanDyke Software development continues to seek users to test new capabilities in pre-beta releases. The latest new feature to test is an "inactivity status notification option" for session tabs. Inactivity status notification allows the tab status indicator to change when a tabbed session is inactive for a specified period of time. This is useful if you want to know when a command or script finishes in one tabbed session while working in another session. If you would like to test and provide feedback on the inactivity status feature, please send e-mail to . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The latest chapter in the VanDyke Software Scripting Essentials manual gives you more tools to better control your network systems and save time using automation. This chapter introduces SecureCRT's Session object logging methods. The Session.Log method is outlined for ad hoc connections, as well as the LogUsingSessionOptions method for preconfigured sessions. It also shows you how to read data from and write it to files using VBScript's built-in FileSystemObject. Three examples show how to apply the logging and file access methods with the usual full source code. The first script lets you connect to one of a list of servers stored in a "hosts.txt" file, send commands read from a commands.txt file, and repeat the process for each host. Another script shows you how to select data from a terminal window and save it in a comma-separated-value (CSV) file. The final script demonstrates importing data from a file to create SecureCRT sessions, a common need for new users. Log and file techniques apply directly to network administration duties like security auditing and verification, as well as storing commonly used commands and procedures for reuse.
